Pattern July Fries

We shall see...lol. I'm sure I'll pick up some good rains this week but interesting trend for me this summer. Very wet may with over 6" then little over 4" in June and now on 21st of July I have 1.9 with most of that falling within first 6 days of the month. Downward trend but let's see what happens this week.

BOOM! Today took the cake with a whopping 3.5" of rain in just one hour from a very heavy thunderstorm 4:15-5:15 PM that formed along a stationary front!! This was likely the heaviest rainfall I've witnessed here in one hour in at least several years. Numerous streets were impassible, ditches/canals were bankful or overflowing. Many cars got stuck. What made this worse was that it fell near high tide and the ground was already saturated from ~5-6" of rain just the prior 4 days, which included near 3/4" yesterday. Total for the last 5 days near an incredible 8.5-9"!! Month to date is near 10.5-12" vs normal of only 3.5"...so I've received ~triple the normal.

Wow, and I thought I was doing well, lol. I got another inch this morning, so that's 3 1/4 in three days...but you are clearly the champ! Congrats..don't knock the flooding, any rain in summer is good rain considering all the droughts we've seen since the early 80's. Just don't build on a flood plain, or low ground, and you'll be alright, even in a TD Alberto scenario :) Of course, all ground near the sea is low ground, but that's on you, beach comber Larry, lol.

It's early yet. I don't think we need to be calling it a bust yet. This severe thunderstorm watch is well placed.

Might end up right after all. Rain moving in, if it holds together.
 
All is quiet here. Looks like all the storms will be to my south.

Nice. That mess is putting on a light show. Looks like it’s about 30 minutes away from me. Not sure it’ll hold together that long. Oh, and Greg Fisher just called me. STW. Kiss of death.
